Recast for Minecraft

Review Recast

Small Improvements for Fishing

Fishing in Minecraft is an important mechanic in any survival playthrough, as it allows players to obtain not only food for their character, but also various additional resources and items. The process itself is engaging, but it takes a lot of time. The player has to cast the fishing rod, then wait until the bobber starts to sink, reel it in, and repeat the entire process again. And if you do not want to spend extra time constantly casting the rod, you can slightly speed up and simplify the entire procedure by using third-party mods for Minecraft that provide special functionality for this.

The Recast modification adds the ability to automatically recast the fishing rod without your involvement. Every time the player pulls the hook out of the water, it is automatically cast back in. The user spends less time on additional actions, the fishing process becomes easier, while the overall mechanic remains the same and does not significantly affect vanilla Minecraft survival, right? This is a great opportunity to slightly optimize the process and take care of other real-life tasks without being distracted by the fishing rod every few seconds. And if you are interested in playing with such a mod, we recommend carefully reading our article!

How do many players usually fish? You have to cast the rod every time, reel it in, and wait until a fish bites. It is interesting, but not very profitable. This option is suitable mainly at the very beginning, when the player has almost nothing, but there is a water biome nearby and a fishing rod available. This mod simplifies the fishing process and saves you time. Now the system automatically casts the rod again after you pull it out with a catch. A simple, but interesting and important feature for any player who decided to play Minecraft and try this mechanic. And it does not matter where you play: on a server or in single-player mode on a generated world.

The new system will save you a huge amount of time, although there are other Minecraft mods that offer similar features and that we have reviewed in detail. Here is a small list for you:

· AFKFish — this modification performs the entire process without your participation. You only need to cast the fishing rod into the water, after which the character independently reels in the catch and recasts it. You can stay AFK overnight and collect a huge amount of valuable materials;

· Aquaculture — a large-scale Minecraft mod that adds many new types of fish, various fishing rods, hooks, and much more. Now fishing becomes a separate gameplay mechanic in which you can spend many hours exploring new content;

· Auto Fishing Deluxe — automatic fishing in the game that works without your involvement. At the same time, players have access to a large set of settings, allowing them to customize everything to their playstyle.

Almost all of these mods simplify the fishing process in Minecraft and save your time. Fishing is an interesting mechanic, but it is used quite rarely, usually when a player needs to catch fish for feeding or taming ocelots, or for completing achievements. As a food source, fish is not used very often, as it is relatively inconvenient to obtain. However, for example, axolotls are very popular among players, and many try to obtain all variants to complete a full collection on a server or in single-player mode. Now you have a great opportunity to automate this process.

While fishing, a player can obtain enchanted books, various types of food, fish, resources such as leather or string, plants, and much more. Sometimes rarer items appear, such as a nautilus shell, but this depends entirely on your luck. If you leave the character fishing overnight, the entire inventory can easily be filled, but it is important to make sure the character’s HP is fully restored so they do not die while AFK. Despite its simple functionality, the Recast mod is actively supported by the developer and is available for almost all mod loaders (Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, Quilt). It has over 400,000 downloads, and at the time this article was written, the latest version was already available.

Overall, we can conclude that this mod is useful for players who actively engage in fishing and would like to simplify this process or at least fish several times per session to complete achievements or obtain fish for taming other animals. In this article, we also provided recommendations for other add-ons that can significantly diversify this mechanic. And if you enjoy fishing, we recommend installing all of them to fully immerse yourself in this gameplay system.
